Allah, CREATED THE UNIVERSE FROM NOTHING___________________________________________

With ample evidence discovered by science, the thesis of an "infiniteuniverse" was tossed onto the scrap-heap of the history of scientificideas. Yet, more important questions were forthcoming: what existedbefore the Big Bang? What force could have caused the great explosionthat resulted in a universe that did not exist before?

There is a single answer to be given to the question of what existedbefore the Big Bang: Allah, the All-powerful and the Almighty, Whocreated the earth and the heavens in great order. Many scientists, bethey believers or not, are obliged to admit this truth. Although theymay decline to admit this fact on scientific platforms, theirconfessions in between the lines give them away. Renowned atheistphilosopher Anthony Flew says:Notoriously, confession is good for the soul. I will therefore beginby confessing that the Stratonician atheist has to be embarrassed bythe contemporary cosmological consensus. For it seems that thecosmologists are providing a scientific proof of what St. Thomascontended could not be proved philosophically; namely, that theuniverse had a beginning. So long as the universe can be comfortablythought of as being not only without end but also beginning, itremains easy to urge that its brute existence, and whatever are foundto be its most fundamental features, should be accepted as theexplanatory ultimates. Although I believe that it remains stillcorrect, it certainly is neither easy nor comfortable to maintain thisposition in the face of the Big Bang story. (Henry Margenau, RoyAbraham Vargesse, Cosmos, Bios, Theos, La Salla IL: Open CourtPublishing, 1992, p. 241).

Some scientists like the British materialist physicist H. P. Lipsonconfess that they have to accept the Big Bang theory whether they wantit or not:

If living matter is not, then, caused by the interplay of atoms,natural forces, and radiation, how has it come into being?… I think,however, that we must…admit that the only acceptable explanation iscreation. I know that this is anathema to physicists, as indeed it isto me, but we must not reject that we do not like if the experimentalevidence supports it. (H. P. Lipson, "A Physicist Looks at Evolution",Physics Bulletin, vol. 138, 1980, p. 1 3 8 ) .

In conclusion, science points to a single reality whether materialistscientists like it or not. Matter and time have been created by aCreator, Who is All-Powerful and Who created the heavens, the earthand all that is in between: Almighty Allah, .

It is Allah, Who created the seven heavens and of the earth the samenumber, the Command descending down through all of them, so that youmight know that Allah, has power over all things and that Allah, encompassesall things in His knowledge. (Surat at-Talaq: 12)___________________________________________________

THE PERFECT DESIGN IN THE UNIVERSE IS NOT BY CHANCE____________________________________________________

Just think about the things you see from the moment you wake up in themorning: the pillow under your head, the blanket over you, the alarmclock that woke you up, the slippers you search for as soon as you getout of bed, the window you open to get some fresh air, the clotheshanging in your closet, the mirror you look into every morning, theknife and fork you use for breakfast, the umbrella you take with youwhen you leave the house, the elevator you get into, the key thatopens your car door, the traffic lights along the way, the billboards,the pen, paper and other things on your desk at work...Spend some time to consider, and it will no doubt occur to you thateach of these things was designed for a special purpose. No one wouldsay that it was a matter of chance that everything was where it shouldbe when you arose up in the morning. For example, who would claim thatmerely by chance, your house key was cut exactly to fit the door? Orthat it ended up in your pocket by chance, in the first place? No onewould claim that the billboards along the road were put there bychance, or that the meanings they intend came about by randomlypainted symbols.

By the same token, no one would deny that a staple—nothing other thana specially shaped piece of wire on your desk—was bent and placed inits dispenser in order to hold papers together. Each staple's metalalloy, size, shape, and intended function show the evidence ofdeliberate design. It was planned specifically to accommodate yourneeds; and there's a particular reason why staples are so often foundin any office setting.

What about the people you see walking along the street? Or the treesyou pass by, the dog that runs out in front of you, the pigeons thatbuild their nests in the eaves of your house, the flowers on yourtable, the sky above you? Could their existence be by chance, do youthink?

It would be nonsense to even consider this possibility! Everythingsurrounding you, animate and inanimate alike, is too wonderful andcomplex to be compared with man-made items or ever to be ascribed tothe operations of chance. Each is an example of a conscious creation,requiring consummate intelligence and skill. Everyone who finds itillogical to think that even a single staple came about by the properbending of a wire by chance, will see that it is even more impossiblethat human beings, cats, birds, trees and the entire universe emergedby chance.

But today, there are people who cannot see this clear reality. Orrather they see it, but pretend not to. They claim that trees, birds,clouds, houses, cars, you yourself, others around you—in short,everything in the universe, animate and inanimate, is all the work ofblind chance.

These people, known as Materialist-Darwinists, maintain thecontradictory idea that chance occurrences can display supremeintelligence; and that the sum total of millions of chance events,occurring in sequence, can show creative power. According toMaterialist-Darwinists, chance events have greater intelligence thanevery person in the world—no matter how many people have come andgone. They claim that a genius called "chance" has shaped everyone'sbrain, cognitive ability, judgment, memory, and countless other humancharacteristics for hundreds of thousands of years.

Let us examine the irrationality of those who have entered the blindalley of chance, ignoring the wondrous design that surrounds them aswell as the proofs of creation.

Chance Is Not A Deity: It Is Allah, Who Is The Creator Of All That Exists

The theory of evolution puts forth the irrational claim that allplants, animals and human beings are the result of blind, unconscious,accidental events. Evolutionists believe that millions of years ago,in the primal soup of the oceans or in pools of water, mindless atomswith no knowledge, powers of reason came together in certainproportions and later, by chance, formed the proteins and cells thateven today's scientists with the most advanced laboratory technologyhave not been able to duplicate. They go so far as to say that thesecells, in their turn—and again by sheer chance—formed starfish, fish,sparrows, hawks, seagulls, penguins, cats, lambs, lions, and evenhuman beings who possess the faculty of reason.To demonstrate just how incredible the claims of evolutionists are,let anyone who believes in the creative power of chance events take alarge barrel. Let them put into it however much material they believeis required to form a living thing. For example, let them include allthe needed elements—carbon, phosphorus, calcium—as well as organiccompounds like amino acids, proteins, lipids, and carotene. Then letthem add to this mixture whatever outside influence they choose. Forexample, heat or chill the barrel. Let it be struck by lightning orapply electric current. Let them stir the mixture with whateveradvanced devices they may have. In addition, let them stand guard onthis barrel transferring this responsibility from father to son formillions, even billions, of years. And so as to increase the chancesof success, let them control the mixing at every moment. Let themconsult with others; meet with the world's foremost biologists,geneticists, physicists and experts on evolution. Leave them free toproduce whatever conditions they deem necessary to originate life.Yet despite all this serious, conscious effort, they'll never be ableto produce anything like a living being in that barrel. No matter whatthey do, they'll never be able to produce the living things pictured in this book.

Let those atoms in that barrel perform any reactions they want; neverwill they begin an "evolution" capable of producing brilliant scientists discoverers;scientists able to examine underelectron microscopes the molecules and atoms out of which theythemselves are composed; talented actors li celebrities those who take pleasure in symmetry,esthetics and harmonious colors; those able to design automobiles andwrite books; thinkers with faculties of logic and judgment; humanbeings able to retain in memory what they have learned, sharelongings, feel excitement and pleasure; who are possessed with a senseof love, mercy and compassion; who enjoy the taste of food and whoseappetite is stimulated by a cake baking in the oven; who laugh atsomething funny and enjoy being with their friends; who can defend anidea and carry on a discussion.

Bring unconscious atoms together in whatever way you prefer. Neverwill they be able to bring about a single one of these living things,or even one of their cells.

If so—if no living thing can ever be produced by human effort and thewhole pool of human knowledge—how can life be brought into being withthe aid of unconscious atoms and chance events? Any intelligent humanbeing of conscience can certainly understand that he—and other livingthings—cannot be the result of chance events. Every intelligent,unprejudiced person with a conscience knows that Allah, has created allthese living things with His incomparable power.

Regrettably, a segment of the population has accepted this irrationalscenario throughout the 20th century. Professors, scientists andteachers may ridicule the "primitive" beliefs of pagan societies,while themselves accepting the nonsense of evolution. In this, they'reequally as benighted as those human beings who expect a wooden idolcan help them. God's Messenger, the Prophet Mohammed, peace be uponhim, also reminded anyone afflicted with such blindness that thegreatest sin is associating His creatures with Allah,:

The most severe sin is to associate partners with Allah, while He hascreated you. (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)

In the Qur'an (29:17), Allah, warns those who worship idols and inventlies about them that their power is strong enough to do anything:

Al-Ankaboot

QUOTEAnd verily we sent Noah (as Our messenger) unto his folk, and hecontinued with them for a thousand years save fifty years; and theflood engulfed them, for they were wrong-doers. (14) And We rescuedhim and those with him in the ship, and made of it a portent for thepeoples. (15) And Abraham! (Remember) when he said unto his folk:Serve Allah, and keep your duty unto Him; that is better for you if yedid but know. (16) Ye serve instead of Allah only idols, and ye onlyinvent a lie. Lo! those whom ye serve instead of Allah own noprovision for you. So seek your provision from Allah, and serve Him,and give thanks unto Him, (for) unto Him ye will be brought back. (17)But if ye deny, then nations have denied before you. The messenger isonly to convey (the message) plainly. ( 1 8 ) See they not how Allahproduceth creation, then reproduceth it? Lo! for Allah that is easy.(19) Say (O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see how He originatedcreation, then Allah bringeth forth the later growth. Lo! Allah isAble to do all things. (20) He punisheth whom He will and showethmercy unto whom He will, and unto Him ye will be turned. (21) Yecannot escape (from Him) in the earth or in the sky, and beside Allahthere is for you no friend nor helper. (22) Those who disbelieve inthe revelations of Allah and in (their) Meeting with Him, such have nohope of My mercy. For such there is a painful doom. (23) But theanswer of his folk was only that they said: "Kill him" or "Burn him."Then Allah saved him from the Fire. Lo! herein verily are portents forfolk who believe. (24) He said: Ye have chosen only idols instead ofAllah. The love between you is only in the life of the world. Then onthe Day of Resurrection ye will deny each other and curse each other,and your abode will be the Fire, and ye will have no helpers. (25)
